MTV Awards given out in host-less, pre-taped show due to writers' strike
CBSN
A host-less, pre-taped and muted MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday became the first big awards show to air during the screenwriters' strike, offering a commercial-heavy broadcast featuring lots of past recycled live clips. Many awards produced no winner's response.
"Scream VI" won the trophy for best movie, holding back competition from "Avatar: The Way of Water," "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," "Elvis," "Nope," "Smile" and "Top Gun: Maverick." In a pre-taped response, the killer Ghostface was humble: "To all the fans that voted, you finally answered my question: What's your favorite scary movie?"
"The Last of Us" was crowned best TV show, beating the likes of "Stranger Things," "The White Lotus," "Wednesday" and "Yellowjackets." Pedro Pascal accepted the award and said he and the cast and creators were standing in solidarity with the striking writers.
